You (may not) Know JS

I don't think you are correct about your example being a closure - even according to MDN's explanation.

"a function bundled together (enclosed) with references to its surrounding state"

You took the bit about surrounding state, but ignored the bit about a function being bundled together/enclosed. Your example is just looking at global state - that isn't bundled, that is open to everyone to mess with. :)

I would update it anyway for teaching purposes, as the rest of your article is excellent IMHO.

yes it is still there I think therefore the quotes. as Tony B said I would change it because the word closure is about the enclosed state and not purely about scope and your article is very good.

I'll update it later today, but I'm still in doubt wether this implicit global scope doesn't count as an enclosure. Tony B thanks for the read and the feedback 🤘🤘

Thank you both

EDIT: Updated both snippets.
